A Fedora maintainer should be responsible for all the bugs in the package, even if that just means forwarding them upstream. Reporters are encouraged to help out by forwarding bugs themselves, just as contributions to Fedora are encouraged in general, but to close the bug because they decline to do so is bogus. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
